This Saturday, I should be doing some stuff to my car. If anyone wants to come hang out and/or do stuff to your car, swing on by. I should have most tools needed. But, I'll be using all four of my jackstands.

Also, we could grill some burgers/dogs/brats.

I live in Goodyear, off of Estrella Pkwy and MC85.

If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I'll get you my contact info and address.

What's going on the car Jerome?

 

If all goes well and I get some minor parts, hopefully these:

 

Those are nice.

 

Nice! It would be interesting to see how those compare to the akebono's I know your car is lighter and has bigger brakes but if we both drove at the same speed and jammed on the brakes at the same time I'd like to compare stopping distances just for kicks.

 

Tires make a difference too

 

Oh, I know. That's why I have these now... AND lightweight wheels.

 

I got heavier rims, heavier brakes, I think my only advantage is that I weigh about as much as your average 17 yo girl haha. Oh well, the twin turbos should solve that

 

Wow...those NT05's are super sticky...and good for about 5000-6000 miles.

 

They'll last longer than that.

 

I hope, but with a treadwear rating of 200...I don't know. Good luck!

 

Treadwear rating isn't a very good indicator of how many miles you'll get out of a tire. They vary greatly between manufacturers. I have a friend who works for a tire company. During one of their meetings, they increased the treadwear rating of a tire without even physically changing anything WITH the tire. Hahaha.

I use to have some Advan Sports. Their treadwear rating was 180. IIRC, they had around 10k miles on them and had plenty of rubber left.

 

Let me know how it goes with the tires then, I'm trying to decide what my next set will be

 

Will do. I can already tell you that they're pretty damn impressive at the track!
